IntroductionStyle is learned.

Despite what the media and fashion magazines might have you believe, being stylish is not an elusive state reserved for the rich and skinny.

As long as you understand a few simple rules about what looks best on your body type and what colors bring out your complexion, you will be getting compliments on your style in no time.

In this quick guide, I will show you how to dress to flaunt your assets and hide your insecurities, and why certain colors work on your skin better than any other in 10 minutes.

Let’s get started!

3

Proportions

Dressing better is all about knowing your proportions.

You don’t have to look like a model to dress like one.

As long as you understand your body type and know a few tricks on how to make yourself look long and lean, you’ll be looking 10x better in 10 minutes.

4

Top

Small Boobs

You look best in high-necks such as halter and sleeveless tops. They will make you look leaner and taller. Avoid low cut tops.

Big Boobs

You look great in any low cut tops. V necks, boat necks, and corsets are your best bet because you can pull them off ef-fortlessly. Avoid high neck tops and halter tops.

5

Middle

Flabby Tummy

Wrap tops and shirt tail hems that cover the front while rising on the sides are the best for camouflage.Make sure that your shirts end at the widest part of you so your middle looks smaller. Never buy clothing that is too tight--al-ways get clothes that comfortably skim over your figure.

Big Hips

Big hips are sexy but certain clothing brings them out better than others. Slash tees and more decorated tops balance out your shoulder with your hips for that elusive hourglass figure. Add small belts for emphasis on your waist. 6

Bottom If you are a short girl, here are some style tips to make you look taller:

» Match your shoe color to the color of your pants as close as possible to make your legs appear longer.

» Layer your tops. They will make your legs appear longer by comparison.

» Always shop at the petite’s section. Pro-portions on jackets and pants are difficult to get right in regular sizes.

» Yes you will have to get certain clothing tailored, but when you get your clothes back, they will look fabulous on you.

Further ReadingI would know nothing about style without reading the books and websites below. The authors have gone in depth about what looks good and what doesn’t and I owe every-thing I know to them. Everything below is highly recommended:

1. What Not to Wear by Trinny and SusannahThis was the first book I read on how to dress better, and my wardrobe is better for it. Trinny and Susannah have divided each page and its opposite to what looks bad vs. what looks good, and each picture tells way more than a thousand words. If there’s only one book you read on style, this would be it.

2. The Pocket Stylist by Kendall FarrMs. Farr is a professional stylist with years of experience. This is an encyclopedia of style that details everything you need to know about looking great.

3. Ask Andy About Clotheshttp://www.askandyaboutclothes.com/Tutorials/CindyBuschColorAnalysis.htmIronically an eBook about women’s wear has a color section that is mostly based on this website above. This site goes IN DEPTH about color.
